Advice on best blood test
Hi there, I'm looking to test Sodium, Potassium & Magnesium levels, as well as a full iron panel, Vit D, B12, Folate, thyroid hormones and sex hormones. I use Medichecks often for testing, but can't find a test that includes everything. I've found a Medichecks test that includes everything but SHBG

T3 and magnesium / electrolyte supplements: I messed up, but is it just the supplements to blame?
I have been on the same dose of T4 and T3 for the last 7 months ( T4: 82mcg and T3:22.5 mcg). I was then diagnosed with ADHD end of April and started taking Lisdexamfetamine plus electrolyte supplements. (Magnesium citrate, plus : Electrolyte complex - Ingredients: Calcium salts of orthophosphoric

Pred and PET Scans
Hi I’m currently on 6mg Prednisolone for suspected GCA diagnosed about 14 months ago though biopsy was negative and ultrasounds didn’t detect anything. Inflammation markers have come down significantly but are stubbornly refusing to go into the normal range. Have no other indications of infection and

Night Terrors Anyone?
I have been experiencing night terrors for many years now, varying in intensity. They usually manifest early on after going to sleep. CBT doesn't help, but Valium does (which I seldom take). I have learned to ignore the weak ones with a bit of screaming. Sometimes I don't even notice them, but they scare

Need GTN despite meds
I'm almost 85 & had a 2nd heart attack on 3/2/24. Needed defibrillator in ambulance, local hospital not available, so taken to another one. Existing stents ballooned. Recovering well but 3 weeks later, hospitalised for 10 days with low sodium. Only just stabilising with medication and restricted fluids

Ckd 2 27 but very active
Question for you all. So, overall my nephrologist says my kidneys are normal structurally and the protein in my urine at its highest was 61, went to 18, and then was undetectable. I'd assume it is due to my life style changes and probably losing over 92 pounds. Anyway, Nephrologist said I can splurge

Is iron spray any good for night-time dosing?
Has anyone any experience with using iron supplement in spray format? Presumably you’d need a few squirts but better tolerated? Contains iron in the form ferric sodium edtate & ferric ammonium citrate.

My 20 year old nephew is not showing any signs
My nephew who just turned 20 3 months ago was riding on his motorcycle when an irresponsible driver hit in to him and had a major accident. The air ambulance said if he did not have a helmet he most likely would have crushed his brain and been pronounced dead at the scene however He’s been in coma since

gut microbiota and dopamine
A growing body of evidence showed that gut microbiota dysbiosis might be associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Microbiota-targeted interventions could play a protective role in PD by regulating the gut microbiota-gut-brain axis. Sodium butyrate (NaB) could improve gut microbiota

Why am I experiencing migraines, muscle twitching and generally feeling poo 💩?!
Last year year this forum was incredibly helpful when I had a very scary patch of feeling dreadful. I nearly passed out in the middle of the night. Eventually I was diagnosed with vestibular migraine and haven’t felt myself since. I get some migraine symptoms like zig zagging in eye and tiredness but

Finally found some relief for IC
Hi everyone, I’m 48 & was diagnosed with IC & Hunners ulcers after having a bladder lift in 2005 & having the mesh fall apart & get stuck in my pelvic floor wall. The mesh was of course toxic and did a number on my bladder as well. I tried EVERYTHING you could imagine & kept track of when pain would

Gummies - BE CAREFUL
There is a huge range of substances now available in the form of gummies. And gummies are made to taste nice. And this disguises that they contain active ingredients with serious effects. They themselves seem entirely innocuous. Possibly there is more concern over any sugars and sweeteners than what
